The Bengals (1–2) will be trying to avoid losing their third straight home game dating back to last year’s playoffs when they host the Dolphins (1–2) on Thursday night as seven-point favorites at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
Cincinnati is coming off a 29–17 loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Broncos as 3.5-point home chalk last Sunday, and they have dropped 11 of the past 13 meetings with the Dolphins.
However, Miami has struggled to an 0–7 mark against the spread in its last seven games when playing teams with losing records. That includes the Browns, who last week forced the Dolphins to rally for a 30–24 victory in overtime after Miami held a 24–13 lead early in the fourth quarter.
